Post-Covenant War conflicts: Difference between revisions

In late October 2558, the clash between remnants of Jul 'Mdama's Covenant and Arbiter's [[Swords of Sanghelios]] on [[Sanghelios]] reached its peak. On October 27, 'Mdama's Covenant managed to corner Thel 'Vadam to the [[Elder Council Chamber]] in [[Nuusra]]. However, the warriors of 'Vadam, with the help from Spartan-IV Fireteam Osiris, broke through enemy lines and evacuated the Arbiter to his base camp.{{Ref/Level|Id=sos|H5|[[Swords of Sanghelios (level)|Swords of Sanghelios]]}} There, Spartan Locke revealed that they arrived on Sanghelios to ask for 'Vadam's help in reaching a yet dormant Guardian at [[Sunaion]], in order to follow Blue Team. According to the plan, developed by Dr. Halsey, the Spartans, with the aid of the Swords of Sanghelios, would obtain a Forerunner [[Constructor]] from one of the Guardian's nearby support stations, which would allow Halsey to activate the Guardian.{{Ref/Level|Id=alliance|H5|Alliance}}{{Ref/Level|Id=enemy lines|H5|Enemy Lines}} As the Constructor took off, the joint force of Spartans and Swords of Sanghelios followed it with a squadron of air vehicles to Sunaion - the last bastion of Jul 'Mdama's Covenant on Sanghelios. While the Arbiter led his forces against 'Mdama's Covenant directly, Osiris destroyed Covenant [[Type-56 Shrike|anti-air emplacements]] to allow the Arbiter's fleet to move in closer to the city. When the Guardian began rising out of the sea nearby, the buildings around were ripped apart. The Spartans then regrouped with the Arbiter, who was engaging Promethean forces, led by the Warden Eternal, now utilizing another physical body. After a lengthy engagement, the five destroyed the Warden and the nearby Prometheans just as the Guardian prepared to leave. While the Arbiter remained behind to finish eliminating Covenant and Promethean forces, Spartan [[Sarah Palmer]] and Dr. Halsey picked up Osiris in the Pelican and flew towards the Guardian. A pursuing Banshee damaged the dropship, though Palmer was still able to drop Osiris off on the Guardian's surface just as it entered slipspace and left Sanghelios. The Guardian severely damaged Sunaion with both its concussive blasts and its departure into slipspace, and parts of the city began collapsing into the water below. However, 'Vadam was successful in leading the Swords of Sanghelios in eliminating the remaining Covenant forces in the damaged city, ending the battle.{{Ref/Level|Id=sunaion|H5|[[Battle of Sunaion (level)|Battle of Sunaion]]}}
